Sometimes it can be difficult to stay motivated and effective at work, even if you want to be. You can get out of a work slump if you change your mindset and how you tackle your job. If you organize your tasks, stay focused at work, and take care of yourself, you can be more effective at work.

1. Make a checklist: Creating a work checklist or to-do list can help you stay on track at work. Limit how many items are on your to-do list so you don’t stress yourself out.

2. Track where you waste time. Look at your patterns on how you spend time and where you waste it. Do you find yourself clicking on Facebook a little too often? Or having too many chats with your coworkers in the break room? Figure out where you waste time so you can stop and be more effective at work.

3. Break up your projects into smaller tasks. It can be hard to feel accomplished if you spent the entire day on one thing, and still have not finished it. Break up big projects into small successes to help you feel motivated and be more effective at work.

4. Create a daily routine. Tell your mind and body that it is time to work by having a routine system. This might mean that every morning you start off the same way (such as you doing stretches, drinking coffee, and turning on a pump up playlist).
